Escrito por Sinclair Lewis


Sinclair Lewis
(Sauk Centre, Minnesota, 1885 - Roma, 1951) fue el primer Premio Nóbel de los Estados Unidos por una serie de novelas satíricas sobre la burguesía de su país. Tras licenciarse en Yale, entre 1908 y 1915 se dedicó a viajar, alternando la redacción de poemas y relatos cortos con trabajos ocasionales como periodista y corrector de pruebas en editoriales. Tras publicar una serie de novelas de escaso éxito, en 1920 alcanzó el éxito con "Calle Mayor", retrato despiadado del modo de vida de una pequeña localidad de Estados Unidos. Después vendrían "Babbit" (1922), ácido retrato de un hombre de negocios, y "El doctor Arrowsmith" (1925), que ganó el Premio Pulitzer, aunque Lewis renunció a él. Un año antes de recoger el Nobel apareció "Dodsworth" (1929) y en 1935 "Eso no puede pasar aquí", donde relata como un dictador fascista llega al poder democráticamente en los Estados Unidos. Agotado por el alcohol, murió en Roma a los 65 años. Su última novela, "World So Wide" (1951) fue publicada postumanente.
